Excellent game my friend. I love the art style and cozy game feel. I usually give game jam games about 5-10 minutes, but I stuck with this one for much longer.
You guys created something visually unique. I like how wild it is along with the mixture of ps1 style graphics. One hiccup I ran into was pressing escape during the 3rd day and it just closed the game. I was looking for a menu to adjust the volume. Fortunately the game was fun so I just restarted :)
Thank you so much for the feedback. The game most definitely needs to be optimized better and I could get it under a gig given more time, but I really over did it for this jam and ran out of time. I really appreciate you playing. Non-web based games are already a hard sell in game jams, but 1 gig non-web based games puts you in that probably-not-going-to-get-played category.
Took a second to get into the groove of the game but once I did, I quite enjoyed it. Simple game to play with enough complexity in choosing bases that will keep you playing. good work!
Did you guys make a whole game!? Stop making the rest of us look bad! Seriously though, great job. The telekinesis block movement was a little wonky to start, but once I warmed up to it, it was great. And the level design is good. At one point I fell from a jump and said out loud, "Oh great, they are gonna make me do all of that over again." and then I turned around and, nope, there was a quick way back to the jumping puzzle. Nice work you guys!
Thanks for the input! I was stupid enough to build this game on the code framework I had from a game jam entry and I kind of put myself into a corner with bugs. I will probably tackle that mess in the future and make the game more stable.
Thanks for the honesty. This is definitely not a game I'm happy with because I had to cut out the interesting pause and rewind mechanics along with a few other interesting abilities. Unfortunately they weren't working consistently enough and I decided to submit a boring working game instead of an interesting idea that no one could play. Maybe next time.
Yeah, originally it was going to affect vision/hearing (by updating graphics/sound), your speed (by letting you move and shoot faster), your strength (life), a psychic ability (enemy and bullet knock back), and a the ability to rewind time. At the last minute I took out everything interesting because it was working a bit too wonky. The bosses wouldn't rewind properly and the knock back was pretty much doing the same thing as rewind, so it got scraped so that I could rush music and sounds.
Yeah, I totally didn't get asked what was wrong with me by my wife for screaming ping as I ran from underwater ghosts. I had fun with this! Thanks for making me look like a fool. Awesome sound fx too.
Hey I like the concept, but I think there is something wrong with the current build. I'm only seeing a green area in the upper right and occasionally fruit or creatures show up. The rest of the screen in blue.
The story book idea was awesome! I love top down shooters and this check a lot of my boxes for what makes them fun. The only downside is, I don't like cats. HA! Good work.
To start, I want you to know you get 5 stars in visuals for making a triangle dragon. The game was simple, fun and easy to understand. Occasionally I would get stuck and couldn't right or left, for instance I would be moving left, then release the left arrow, then tap it again to move and I would get stuck. Overall I really enjoyed the game. It scratched my retro gaming itch.
I had fun with it. The mouse sensitivity was insane even when I dropped the DPI to 800. I did have fun just sprinting from Santa, but trying to duck and get into vents and under tables was hard with the sensitivity. Santa scared me and I loved the sound in the game.
Love the way he walks and how his mouth "noms". I was able to walk off screen in the upper left corner of the first level and in the second level Collected all the creatures and one of the poisonous creatures and didn't advance. I loved the concept and your execution was great. What a fun game!
Got it. Well this is game 6 in my attempt to make 10 games in 10 weeks. Unfortunately life got in the way of this game and I had to leave it finished as is. I wasn't happy with the player controls or camera, so jumping onto anything is a pain and the conveyor belts change player physics, so it's even worse there. All I can do now is learn what I can from it.
Hey, thanks for the input. I'm actually very unhappy with this game, and if you are talking about the long fall you take at the "end" of the level, I'm surprised you made it that far. I'm in the process of posting the postmortem where I got into some detail as to why this game is largely unfinished. When, or if, I get back to this game, I will look into the issue you mentioned. Thanks again for playing!
